Very good simulator. Micro-managing is as much or little as you like and all game mechanics are smooth and intuitive.
Graphics are not 'cutting edge' but more than enough to make it look good.
Good progression ,every thing is well spaced out to make you want to keep striving for the next upgrade.

As an ARPG it brings nothing new to the table and doesn't do even the standard things as well as many others have before it.
Banning people that are inactive and leaving a permanent Red stain on players Stem accounts shows this companies only motivation is greed.
Screwing over the customers that pay for your game is biting the hand that feeds you and I for one will never feed this company another dime!

This is a prelude yet the developer insists it is optimised as well as it can and issues are poor specked computers and not the game. The few that have played all say the starting area has mobs too high a level but the dev says no , it is as difficult as he thinks it should be.
The graphics are nice but do not at all show off what UE5 can do yet is laggy on all but the highest end machines.
Maybe at release, if the developer actually starts to listen to the community , this will be a good game but in it's current form I would not at all recommend this game.

If you like crafting , building and really cool magic skills this game ticks the boxes.
The developer has been one of the most dedicated dev's I have ever seen with a steady stream of updates and patches ,sometimes several a week.
The game has grown a lot since first early access release and with some support I have no doubt that the developer will continue to perfect this game and continue listening to the community as well.

This game is what a real story based RPG is supposed to be.
The visuals are stunning , the audio is crisp and well placed ,the combat has weight and the characters are very well presented.
In short this game has all the well polished bits to truly be called a well crafted game.

A very well put together game. Everything just works as it should.The gameplay is fun and keeps you immersed.The graphics look far better than they should for the style used. Crafting is great as well with lots to craft and a strong building mechanic to back it up.
Runs well on mid-range machines looking and sounding great without needing a $5K computer.
Great at full price and still more to come from the devs in the future!

Great atmosphere ,storms and day/night cycle are well done with the night not being unusably dark and the storms being strong enough to hide objects twenty feet away.
For an early access project there is a lot of playable content that seems to work bug-free.

This game has potential to be another in a long line of very similar survival/crafting games. The crafting system is different than most yet somehow more awkward and clunky. A lot of this comes down to different materials ,like wood ,have a much different look depending on what species tree you cut down.This can make for some better looking builds when you have time to worry about looks,Start of the game when you need shelter fast,it can hamper your building quite a bit.
There are a lot of enemies to defend against and they have the worst attack animations of pretty much any game I have played , however I know games like Empyrion were really janky at first and got better over time so maybe this will as well.
Perhaps in a year or two this game will be at the level of many many others in this genre but at the current time. . . not so much. Buy it to support the dev wishlist it and wait for a bit more polish.

I would very much recommend this to any fan of crafting style games.
The game runs very smoothly and looks really good doing it.
The gameplay is interesting and fun and will keep you coming back for more with just enough hooks to make you stay that extra hour when you do.
A really good game with a very good price.
Buy it now!

At the time of this writing I would not at all advise purchasing this game.
The truck handling is very poor as is controller support. The AI traffic will run into you, a lot , and the damage costs come out of your pocket.
The scenery in both Euro and American Truck driver are far,far better as is almost every other aspect of those games.
This games only real difference is you can get out of your truck in On The Road. The reasons for doing so are almost as little fun as driving the trucks.
Check back in 2022 might be worth it by then
